While having fun with your friends on Habbo, it
is
important that you arm yourself with the knowledge on how to keep
safe online. This guide will give you tips and advice on how you can
protect your personal information and keep your accounts safe. Remember to
share this guides information with your friends, so that they too can be
safety savvy. |
|
| Keep your personal
information PERSONAL! |
|
The Golden Rule: "Keep your personal
information PERSONAL". Please make sure you keep your full name,
home address, date of birth, any phone numbers, and the email on
your Habbo account secret, because if someone was able to gain a
hold of this information someone could get into your account, and
worse.. you could be in danger. If you are to
meet someone in real life that you have met on Habbo, please make
sure that it is in a public place and you have a parent or guardian
with you at all times. |

| How to not have
your account broken in to :) |
|
I recommend using an email just for Habbo (and nothing else)
and don't use @hotmail, @msn or @live as it's very easy for so
called "Hackers" to gain access to these types of
accounts. Remember keep the email you use secret, because if no one
else knows it.. How can anyone steal it? |

|
| Keyloggers |
|
A Keylogger is a rather nasty piece of software
that monitors every keystroke that you make, logging them into a
file and sending them off to the remote attacker, sadly this has
become a popular account stealing method. Receiving a Keylogger is
extremely easy: people can pretend to be your friend, gain your
trust and then send you a file over MSN Messenger, making out that
it's something else entirely. Never accept files from someone over
Messenger that you do not trust, and make sure your computer using
up-to-date anti-virus software on a regular basis. |

| Fake
Logins/Phising sites |
|
Phishing is the process of luring users to a
"Fake" website which may ask you to enter in your Habbo's
username and password usually with the promise of free coins and
furniture.. However what really happens is your personal information
is sent to the owner of the site, who will use the information you
submitted to steal your account and everything on it. Always check
the address bar to make sure you are on the correct website. Only
ever enter your Habbo name and password onto "http://www.habbo.com"
on the Login page. |

|
| Password Safety |
|
It's a good rule to have a different password for
every website that you use, and make sure the password you choose
follows the tips below:
Make the password long
You should use a minimum of at least 8 characters!
Use a mix of letters and numbers
Use a combination of letters, numbers, and uppercase and lowercase
characters!
